Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl LIV Victory Parade

The Kansas City Chiefs hosted a victory parade through downtown Kansas City, Missouri (*ahem*) after winning their first Super Bowl in 50 YEARS on Sunday in Miami. It was freezing outside, but the day started off with a bang — no really. There was a high-speed police car chase on the parade route at 8:00 a.m. Despite the cold, it was great to see the players and associated staff celebrating an incredible season. Here are a few of my favorite images from the day, taken from the media platform at Grand Boulevard and 20th Street.

World Series Parade

By now you've all heard that the Kansas City Royals won the 2015 World Series. As a relatively new Royals fan and even newer Kansas City resident, I can only imagine the joy a long-time fan must feel based on my insane level of happiness. I got a taste of just how over-the-moon fans in Kansas City and the surrounding area are on Tuesday, when an 800,000 people crowded the streets of downtown Kansas City to watch their World Series Champions parade. Being present for the sea of royal blue fans, deafening shouts of "PAY ZOBRIST," Gomes' hilarious "unpolitically correct" speech and getting to hold the Commissioner's Trophy was amazing. This city is definitely a baseball town, whatever the naysayers may think. And despite wearing off the heel of one of my boots while walking the parade route a half dozen times, I had a blast covering the World Series Parade for MLB. Here are a few of my favorite shots from the day:
